Since 2006, I've dedicated myself to helping families plant their roots with the perfect loan, tailored just for them. My expertise lies in guiding first-time homebuyers, navigating the nuances of AHFC, and securing VA/FHA loans with ease. 

  

Born and raised in the heart of Ketchikan, my connection to this community runs deep. I understand that a home is more than a place—it's where dreams flourish and memories are made. That's why I became a Loan Officer: to transform the dream of homeownership into a living, breathing reality for you. 

  

Now, I'm thrilled to announce that my services span across the majestic state of Alaska. From the bustling streets of Anchorage to the serene villages tucked away in the wilderness, my commitment to your homeownership goals knows no bounds. 

  

My passion extends beyond the financial realm; I'm an active contributor to the Ketchikan Community Foundation and cherish the moments spent beachcombing with my loved ones. It's this balance of professional dedication and community engagement that fuels my desire to make your home loan journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. 

  

Let's embark on this path together, turning your aspirations of homeownership into tangible achievements. Your dream home awaits, and I'm here to lead the way. Let's make it happen!

Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Conventional

Conventional

A Conventional loan is a great option if you have an average to high credit score and little debt. This allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates. With these types of loans, you have the option to put 20% down, which eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and saves you money. If you don’t have a large down payment saved up though, don’t worry. We have Conventional loan options for down payments as low as 3%.
FHA

FHA

If you’re looking to buy on a tight budget, these loans are a great option. It’s easier to qualify for FHA loans because they carry lower credit score requirements and lower down payment options starting at 3.5% down. They’re also insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and only issued by FHA-approved lenders.
VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.
